Pointfest 14 was held on May 19, 2002. Big Blue Monkey won a contest for the opening slot on the bill at Pointfest 14, and managed to get one of their videos onto Goldfinger’s tour bus. The video immediately grabbed the attention of vocalist John Feldmann, which paid off in a spot touring with Goldfinger, a major record deal, and a name change to Story of the Year.
